some days I’ll be sad and I’ll think of your Shireen art and think… damn. that shit is good I want it ingrained into my flesh

thank you!! that piece was done pretty differently compared to my normal process. I had to make a couple brushes and work with layer masks in a way I don’t normally but I still think it turned out nicely

here she is healthy. none of that ever happened she’s fine

ur art is genuinely so gorgeous every time i see it im in awe. all i wanted to say! have a lovely day <3

thank you!!

there is a lot of it I don’t like anymore or I would do differently. but at least somebody out there is enjoying it… maybe not for all of them though. there are definitely some stinkers

What's up? i wanted to ask you if you’d want to draw bridgerton characters in the future?

I haven’t seen bridgerton and I probably won’t lol. I don’t really care for the regency era.

[shripscapi]

lol why are drawing men so feminine? your jon snow is literally indistinguishable from a girl, is there some kind of agenda here, or is it just your "style"?

you caught me it’s all part of my woke agenda

[shripscapi]

is there a place where you can go read lucia Lore and Info or is it just her tag?

I have a post here with a broad strokes overview with everyone (she’s towards the bottom). some parts of it need to be revisited bc i’ve been adjusting structural details but the general roles played are still accurate I think

otherwise I haven’t talked abt her that much publicly besides the occasional talking in the tags on my sketches. mostly bc I’m not a very good writer lol.

If there are two lucia fans I'm one of them, if there is one lucia fan that's me, if there are no lucia fans I died

AMEN!

[shripscapi]

I really like the detail of the thorny vine wrapping around Lucia’s ankle in your new piece!! I know u said she’s shoeless bc u didn’t want to draw shoes but!!! One could argue her stockinged feet being exposed could represent her leaving herself vulnerable to hurts she thought she was safe from 🤔💭

ah! the shoes I was referencing are actually not lucia’s. they are a specific type that I don’t like and didn’t want to draw andrea in so I just put him in a pair that is technically plausible I think but about stylistically 10 years too modern for the period he’s in. lucia’s feet being bare were intentional for the reasons you suspected :)

Is your stuff digital or (irl?) oil, I can’t tell, love it though 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

it’s digital lol. I don’t have the space or budget required to do oil painting. I loved using them in school though

small half-study with lucia to get away from line art a bit

hii sorry if i didn't see this but are commissions back up again? ty!!

no they’re not, I’m sorry :(

I deleted the post because I’m not sure when/if I’m going to open them again and if I do I definitely need to adjust prices.

follow up question regarding fashion inspo-- do you happen to have a pinterest board or know of other places to look for non tudor fashion that you could link? my own search has been pretty fruitless. also rly love how you draw and render fabric!! ty for ur insight and thoughts :]

thank you! this is a pretty broad question so I'm not sure that I can give the most helpful answer but I find this timeline by the FIT to be a nice, quick visual guide for period trends. Unfortunately it primarily focuses on the regions of current day England, France, and Italy, so no Rus fashions to be found there, but you can poke around pre (and post, if you like) Tudor period/outside of england to see what late medieval and early modern people were wearing as depicted in art of the time.

Rus fashions are harder to dig up and I don't have great advice there... Resources in english kind of suck but you kind of just have to scour... I try not to get too hung up on accuracy for asoiaf stuff, since at the end of the day I'm combining a bunch of different styles that I like into a fantasy setting, so I'll take pieces from bilibin illustrations, or period shows, or whatever other crumbs I can find.

unfortunately I don't have the most organized process but hopefully that is somewhat helpful!

im curious, what fashion did you pull inspo from if not tudor? im trying to do some drawings too but im getting stumped on references

I try and pull from pre-16th century fashions but I'm not super consistent and the answer changes with time. in the first drawing i did of cersei's mourning gown i broke that rule and it definitely feels too modern to me in retrospect

I like the houppelande as the base garment for women, and for menswear i typically use clothing from late medieval Rus (i'm sorry I don't actually know the name of specific garments). I like the layered fabrics and i think it gives costumes a similar weight to the womenswear while also mimicking some of the silhouettes with the high neckline and long sleeves. i also think the use of trousers instead of western european hose creates a more recognizable visual gender divide for a modern audience. if that makes sense.

hair is just made up because grrm likes to write women with their hair down and there aren't a ton of examples of that, so i just try to mesh some fancy updo with loose hair in a way I think looks pretty.

just noticed radfems in my notes so I should say I hate terfs and you are not welcome here.

[shripscapi]

glad i'm not the only asoiaf tudor fashion hater

I think there is some beautiful art of it but it feels out of place for how far back technologically westeros is… they don’t even have guns. but if they did all the women should get one
